Battery Reminder!

Submitted by Bstandiford on Sat, 01/20/2018 - 11:45

It has been about 30 days since I last fished and charged my Trolling motor ( 2 -12 volt group 31 AGM) and my depth finder battery 1-12 volt group 31 AGM. Now is the time that I charge these batteries to keep them charged during the cold winter. I always do this every 30 days when not in use! I always get at least 5 years and once 7 years! This will be my 2nd full year on my Lithium Pack which I do not charge when not in use! I hope this will help someone remember to check and charge their Lead acid batteries to have them ready for the new year! See you on the water! Only 39 days to go! But who’s counting.

Metro Board and Rules updates

Submitted by wmarchant on Wed, 01/10/2018 - 13:33

It's time to start planning for the 2018 tournament season.
We have two volunteers joining the board this year, Max Marchant and Matt Elliott. Both Max and Matt have been unanimously approved by the board.
It is great to add youth to our board. The youth of our club are the future of our club. Also, the board meets every year in order to vote on rule changes and discuss the direction of the club. If any of our members have thoughts on rule changes, please submit your proposed rule change (in writing), along with your thought as to why the rule will benefit the club. Send the rule to: mraadmin@metroreservoiranglers.com (or submit to the president of the club).
Your rule will be presented and voted upon at the next board meeting.

A New Year, a New challenge!

Submitted by Bstandiford on Sun, 01/07/2018 - 10:10

With the new year and new 5 fish limit brings new strategies to my tournament plan. I typically fish grass in the morning to possibly get a quick limit ( hahaha) then move to areas where I can upgrade my catch! Again insert laugh here! This year to me,scouting big fish areas as well as trusting my electronics to see the fish and catch those fish! Also do I just slow down and fish an area more thoroughly. I can also run farther where typically the better fish are caught! It is easier to catch 5 than 8 right? Lol. I look forward to adapting to the changes of this season! The old saying “Lead, Follow or get out of the way” I only like the first option! I hope everyone has a great and safe new year!!

Happy New Year!

Submitted by wmarchant on Mon, 01/01/2018 - 08:19

2018 is looking like it will be a great year for BMRA. We expect another growth in membership this year. Our community outreach, our rule adjustments, and our continuing efforts to reach out to interested anglers, (simply by engaging in conversation at the ramps), are paying dividends in recruitment of a good group of new anglers. All of our club members should be aware that each of us has the ability to bring good people into the club simply by letting people know more about us.
For any club member who is interested in joining our board, please contact a current member and make your interest known. We could use the assistance of an additional board member.
Any club member who wishes to submit an idea for rule modification, please submit the idea (in writing) to a board member. The ideas will be discussed in our annual board meeting, and voted upon.
Also: We will again be the "Host Club" for the Electric Bass Angling National Championship (EBANC) in 2018. Recruitment of additional participating clubs and sponsors begins this week.
